Shipping charges: $375, which includes airfair within the continental United States, a size 200 crate, and signed health certificate from the vet. (If pup has outgrown the 200 crate, an additional charge will be added for the larger crate size.)
*For the past several years the price of our pups has remained at $1200. But due to the increase in gas prices & the rise in cost of supplies to care for the pups properly, as well as our new added feature of microchipping each pup before it leaves us, we've had to slightly increase the price of our babies to $1250 which will start in the winter of 2007.*
Health Guarantee: Our guarantees are only implied between the the breeder (Salhaus) & the original buyer, not to a 3rd party. Our pups are guaranteed to be in good health at the time of sale. They will have received at least their first set of booster shots in our care. A fecal will have been performed deeming it clear of puppy hood diseases & worms. Future vet visits by the buyer should include further worming and the balance of booster shots that are needed and any other needed medical treatment to keep the pup in optimum health. Neglect in worming, innoculations or nutrition will nullify any & all guarantees. If a life altering/threatening birth defect is found other than cosmetic (i.e. non erect ears, missing tooth, umbilical hernia, tail kink, etc.), within the first 2 years of the pup's birth, I will replace the pup with one of equal value of same sex from next available litter. If pup is bred (male or female), guarantee is void. Do not take the pup into parks, pet stores, or other public places where other dogs frequent until at least 4 months of age.

All expenses for the above mentioned procedures are the sole responsibility of the buyer. If buyer wishes to return the pup, then any & all shipping charges are the sole responsibility of the buyer.
